Why custom?
Beyond the default simPRO integrations.
simPRO is the dominant field service management platform for Australian multi-trade businesses (electrical, mechanical, security, HVAC). We build the custom layer most simPRO users need: digital compliance certificates, custom quoting logic, integration with industry-association certificate registers, and offline-tolerant field tools that work on real construction sites.
What we build with simPRO
Common simPRO integrations.
Digital Certificate of Compliance / electrical / gas / plumbing forms tied to simPRO jobs
Custom quoting workflow handling complex pricing logic simPRO doesn't natively support
Industry association compliance register integrations (Master Electricians, Master Plumbers)
Mobile field tools with offline tolerance integrated with simPRO
Customer portal showing job status, certificates, and warranty information
Inspector / regulator portal for compliance verification
White-label compliance platforms for industry associations using simPRO data
How we build
Production-grade.
Not Zapier in a trench coat.
Every simPRO integration we ship handles failure properly: idempotent jobs, retry logic, dead-letter queues for unrecoverable cases, and observability so you can see exactly where data is at any moment.
Tested
Real test suite, real edge cases. Not just "it worked once."
Observable
You see what is happening — events logged, errors surfaced.
Maintainable
Documented, version-controlled, handed over properly.

FAQ
Common questions about simPRO integration.
Does simPRO handle digital compliance certificates natively?
simPRO has form templates that can act as compliance forms, but state-specific Certificate of Compliance workflows with regulator-grade audit trails usually require custom engineering on top.
Can you build mobile field tools that integrate with simPRO?
Yes — we build native and PWA mobile apps that read from and write to simPRO via its API, with offline tolerance for use on sites with patchy connectivity.
How does simPRO compare to AroFlo or Tradify?
simPRO is stronger for multi-trade and larger operations; AroFlo is similar at the high end with strong HVAC/plumbing focus; Tradify targets the mid-market. The right one depends on your trade mix and team size.
